Comment	1. Passing on the near side (assuming the one doing is not speeding) often happens when driver site in one of the overtaking lanes without good reason. It's not OK (according to the Highway Code) but it is understandable. 1. Passing on the near side is perfectly OK on a one way street. 1. Have you reported the speeding to your community council and councillors? Have you engaged with the council about fixing the problem? It took many years, but our road layout was redone and it stopped people using our street as a rat run. Although the odd twat still speeds. 1. What gets my goat are drivers who don't indicated they want to turn right until after they have entered the junction and come to a stop. *CUNTS!* 1. Also drivers who don't respect cyclist's ASLs. 1. And the ones who constantly creep on a red. 1. Any driver who parks on a cycle lane and blocks it. Or parks blocking a junction. 1. Two related types of fuck-head: 1. Drivers on a main road who don't stop short and leave a junction clear when the main road stops. 1. Drivers who enter a junction but can't clear it, end up blocking the whole thing for other road users, and creating massive tailbacks. 1. Finally, driver who deliberately move to block a cyclist (motor or push) from getting past. I actually think drivers should be made to resit their hazard perception and Highway Code tests every ~5 years and resit their driving test (to advanced level) every 10. I know there's not the infrastructure in place to handle that, but just imagine a world where drivers viewed the taks as continual learning and not a god given right!
